Hotel / Resort / Homestay Review : Muo Resort, Muar

I came across this place when I was browsing through agoda website for hotel to stay during my trip to Muar. Looking at the good review, I decided to give a try.

If you getting bored staying at high rise type of hotel, go and have a short vacation here. It is located in Muar town. You will never expect to see this kind of resort in town.
I booked a deluxe double room and get a room just next to reception area.

There are chairs and tables in front of our room that we can have a rest while enjoying the night view. It is so peaceful and windy. We had a very good sleep that night, the pillow and mattress are super comfy up to 5 star hotel standard! Pillows are available for purchase too. We bought 2 pillows cause the price is reasonable. 

Breakfast can be ordered day before and there are 2 choices to choose from. It is only RM10/set. We can also eat the breakfast at the area in front of our room.

The room with the glass wall area is where the karaoke room located. You can book the room with additional charges and enjoyvthe karaoke session with your family. 

There is also mini zoo at the back of the resort. Kids can enjoy as they are rabbits, deers and other animals too. 

Overall, I am very satisfied with my stay and planning to spend few days there again someday.

IEM Log Book Training Scheme (Mentor-Mentee Program)

This entry is made for both Graduate Engineers applying as Mentee and Professional Engineers applying as Mentor for IEM Engineering Competency Development (ECD), previously known as Log Book Training Scheme (LBTS).

As we know, graduate engineers need to have minimum 3 years of working experience after registered with BEM, in order to qualify for application of Professional Engineer. During these 3 years, some might not have been supervised by Lead Engineer with PE (Ir. title) that he needs to go through this Log Book Training Scheme. 

The new IEM ECD Mentorship Program Log File is available on IEM website.

So, next question is what is in the logbook? There are 5 sections as below: -

Section A: Particulars of Log Book Scheme

Section B: Summary of Practical Training and Experience

Section C: Practical Training Record (3 Months Period)

Section D: Courses Attended (Advisable)

Section E: Professional Career Development Activities

There are also 5 competency categories (with total of 18 sub-categories) that Mentee has to relate to Section B (Summary of Practical Training and Experience), which are: -

Competency Category A: Engineering Knowledge Application

Competency Category B: Problem Solving

Competency Category C: Management

Competency Category D: Interpersonal Skill

Competency Category E: Professional Ethics

Each record has to be made every 3 months, which PE (Mentor) has to stamp and sign. 

As for Section C (Practical Training Record), Mentee has to attach some sort of design calculation related to his/her daily task. 

Technical attendance records for talks, visits, seminars etc. shall be recorded for Section E (Professional Career Development Activities). As some might already know, effective 15 February 2016, the 60 hours course attendance and 30 units PDP hours requirement is no longer compulsary but applicants for P.I. applicants for P.I. must demonstrate proficiency in matters related to original 4 compulsory courses: -

1. Code of Ethics

2. Engineering Management Practice

3. Occupational Health & Safety at Work, Relevant By Laws & Regulations

4. Topics related to branch of Engineering (same discipline with Mentee)

After completing 3 years of this ECD program, Graduate Engineers shall be able to proceed with PI application.

Remember that, having this 3 years of Log Book Training Scheme, does not guarantee the Mentee to pass the Professional Interview, so good luck!
